Evaluation Question 7.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

Evaluation Question 6.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 

Filming Calendar Dates.

I used a calendar for my filming and production of both my Preliminary Task, The Incident, and my Opening Sequence, Chasing The Lost, so that I could be organised throughout the year and filming time. I believe that using a calendar was a good idea and helped me produce the best possible media product i could.

 

Problems and solutions With Shoot.

When filming there were a couple of problems I encountered.

Firstly, On day 2 of filming at the Barnes Common location it was raining, this was a problem because there was no rain on day 1 of filming. However, I found areas, covered by trees where the rain was not visible so that the continuity of the film was kept throughout.

This is one of my crew members, Toby, helping to protect the camera from rain on day 2 of filming at Barnes Common.

The second problem I encountered was when filming underwater in the 'flashback' scenes. The water proof case I used was faulty and as a result the flip camera I used was water damaged and deemed unfixable. However I managed to dry out the camera after hours of different 'drying' techniques and thankfully still managed to redeem and use the footage I filmed.

This is the camera submerged in the bowl of rice.

Camera Set Ups For Filming.

Note To The Examiner.

Dear Examiner, Over the last academic year I have been working incredibly hard my blog which shows all my progress from the beginning of the year, in September, starting with my preliminary task 'The Incident' to now with my final piece opening sequence 'Chasing The Lost.' I have shown a massive improvement in both my editing and analysis skills. The evidence for my improvement is shown throughout this blog to produce my final production. Below you can view my final piece opening sequence to 'Chasing The Lost', a Charlie Whitfield Production.

Shooting Schedule.

This is the shooting schedule I used for the filming of the opening sequence to 'Chasing The Lost.'

As you can see I filmed on 3 different days: 13th November, 2nd December and 6th December. I separated the filming days due to location and weather conditions.
